Popis: In the majority of magneto-optical current transformers developed to date, the main parameter is the angle of light polarization (Faraday rotation). In contrast, the principle of operation of the new sensor is based on the direct registration of the domain wall (DW) positions in an orthoferrite plate. The results of the measurements are not affected directly (but the signal-to-noise ratio) by temperature changes of Faraday rotation, birefringence, fluctuations of the incident light beam, polarization distortions in fibers, etc. The amplitude of domain wall motion remains constant in the range from dc to hundreds of kHz and decreases two times at 5 MHz. In the temperature range from 20 to 130°C, the domain wall mobility and the bandwidth decrease about three times.
